My pain, discomfort & struggle have led to some of my biggest transformations & shifts in mindset. Success isnt just handed to you. Every success story has had some form of pain or hardship to it. We dont grow when things are always going great. We only grow from pain. So that's my sentiment on this post 🔥

This is true for a lot of success stories. Like Rocky said, it's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you get hit and keep moving forward. How much pain or how much you can take in life and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.

Deeply agree!! I read from one of Adam Grant’s book “Originals” that the only recognizable common factor between the people who have achieved great things was that they had either lost one or both of their parents at a very young age. What does not destroy you makes you stronger, and no greatness is born without suffering.

Makes sense to me. Pain either turns into shame or into gain. It sets you back and makes you try less or pushes you forward because you're stronger for getting through it.

I just won an Engineering Quiz Bee last week and people seem to be surprised and say that I got lucky LMAO nobody knew I grinded for the past few months answering and solving tirelessly and taking on higher mathematics and general engineering questions 200 problems per day and the crowd favorite only placed 3rd and for some reason they are surprised as well that I beat him cause I've been carrying him in the nationals but for some reason I think he told everyone he is the brains of our team lmao now the truth speaks for itself I got 165 points, the second placer got 110 and the crowd favorite only got 95 nobody knew my hardships they just see the results.

Every success story is a secret story of pain. But not every secret story of pain is a success story. 😭

I never had any pain after deciding to start my own company. 18 years later I can say the hardships were not as much as my passion and willingness to hustle but even when I had no line of credit, there was no pain. Sowy lol

Nietzsche: "Only great pain, the long, slow pain that takes its time... compels us to descend to our ultimate depths... I doubt that such pain makes us 'better'; but I know it makes us more profound..."

You know this antifragility stuff can lead to a lot of disbalance Because when things come down they must come up, that kind of happens in unexpected ways and sometimes the payoff is only in our minds

No, it literally isn't. People grow best when in a supportive environment, certainly not free from challenges but knowing that they are supported, that they have possibilities. This rhetoric you're spouting is just completely dismissing how horrendous life is for most of humanity, and far far FAR more people fail forever than those that actually succeed by any metric within it.

Some times when you succeed people think you are born with a golden spoon, that you had it all comfy and easy, without a thought to the hard efforts you put through.
